eris took off, following after both the shadow wielders, it wasn't hard to track them, neither of them were out of her range. yet. she tried to get as close as she could to Cynthia, knowing she would be the hardest to catch "cynthia" she said "we have no quarrel with you. the hot head is obviously some wanna be hero, I didn't mean for this to happen. Damian, leave her be. she has only killed people who had thought were going to harm her. I kinda over exaggerated what I had said because she honestly annoyed me.... a lot"

Rhytha followed the others. She bit her lip, feeling sorry for Cynthia. She slowly stepped forward. "Cynthia? My name is Rhyssa. I give you my word as a Healer, we will not hurt you." She held her hands out, palms up, in a gesture of peace. "I only want to help you."Comment

Damian stayed in the shadows, listening to the other's shouts.
"I won't hurt you, we can talk! I know what it's like, being hunted, and feared, and hated."
He felt her faint presence spread out until it was impossible to locate, nowhere and everywhere. He slumped down against a tree trunk, letting himself reappear in the real world.
"I can understand killing to save yourself. I know that moment when it's them or you, or someone you love, and of course you're choosing yourself. I just... don't... whatever." He muttered to the ground, hoping there was enough of her here to hear him.Comment

Cynthia frowned, and the shadows that held her spirit milled in confusion. They were trying to draw her out. Very well then. She allowed the shadows to form her again, but she made sure to keep part of herself away. Outwardly, it wouldn't look like anything was different, but she was sure the psychic would notice the missing fragment of her mind. She split that frament, though, and hide it in several areas of the forest as she moved to meet the three. Sensing that the shadow-wielder was seperate from the others, she made a duplicate of herself and sent it to meet him. The copy also looked normal, and it had enough of her mind within it that she doubted he'd notice she was missing. She hid a smile as she thought of how people couldn't be in two places at once. Right now she was in two, with another part of her scattered around the forest.
"Word as a healer?" she asked the girl, sounding a little bored. "How much does that really mean these days?"
She crept to the shadow-wielder, cautious. He was the more dangerous of the trio to her, as he could fight her with herself, in essence. "So you've been hunted too?" Her tone was wary.Phillipians 4:13 - I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Rhyssa looked up at Cynthia. "To me, it means everything, for I have little else. My word is my bond, and once I give it, I do not break it." She smiled wryly. "Do you mind if I sit down? I stepped on something sharp while I was running, and I fear my foot's bleeding pretty badly. I guess it's what I get for going around barefoot, I guess."Comment

"It was when I was fourteen, the first time I'd used my power. There was a criminal taking a woman hostage, he had a gun held up to her head, and I was just thinking 'Oh god don't let this happen. Don't let him hurt anyone.' I was angry, I wanted him hurt. And then the lights started to flicker and he screamed. And my shadow came off my feet and stood up and ran at him and there was blood everywhere and people were screaming and..."
He cut himself short and took a deep breath, trying to quell the panic.
"I saved her. I saved her life. And you know what they called me? Freak." Without his knowing his hand tightened into a fist.
"Monster."
The grass at his feet started to wither, turning brown and putting an undercurrent of rot of in the air.
"Demon. They tried to hurt me, lock me up. So I ran. And I've spent every **** second of my life atoning for that. Guess we're not so different." He said with a harsh laugh. "doomed to be hated."Comment

Cynthia shrugged. "Can't really stop you, now can I." She leaned against a tree and studied the girl. "So why is a girl like you running around bare-foot? I don't think even the hermits who live all day in the forest trust the ground enough to do that."
She raised her eyebrows in amazement. "You killed to rescue a stranger? Huh. I killed my father when I found out he had drowned my cat. I had been nine. Got a little carried away and killed my mother and younger sister. And I did the killing, not my shadow." She held out her arm and willed it to form the black blade she called upon when in need. "I killed the people who came after me with this baby, or I broke their minds with the terrors I created." She grinned wickedly, for she sensed that this man also had a talent for breaking minds.Phillipians 4:13 - I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

She plopped down onto the grass, pulling her foot up into her lap. "I like to feel the ground under my feet. Besides, my sandals are too small. They hurt my feet." She turned her head slightly so she could see her foot better, and began to carefully pull out the peice of glass embedded in her foot. "Ouch. That would explain why it hurts so much." Closing her eyes, she pressed her palm over the wound, murmuring softly. When she pulled her hand away, pale blue flames were licking at the wound, healing it. She smiled and flexed her foot experimentally. "There. All healed."Comment

Damian stood up, eyes cast toward the ground.
"So we're similar, but we're not the same. I killed to save a life. You killed out of vengeance. And then murdered the rest of your family. And you hurt people. Again and again and again. But I do too. I do whatever it takes to save people." He looked up and into her eyes, cold fury brewing in his eyes.
"Don't make me."
He slipped into a pool of shadow, melting away back to the field.

Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "How do you use fire to heal? I have never heard of that concept in anything before. Mind you, I haven't had much time for tv in several years."
She shrugged. "I hurt to keep from being hurt. When my gift first manifested, the power was a little too much." When he raised his eyes to hers, she was amazed to see terrifying creatures lurking in their depths. She smiled. Fear was her favorite emotion, and while she liked to inflict it on others, she had no problem with it herself. She was about to retaliate by shifting herself into her favorite monster, one she had created herself when little, when the man melted away. She laughed. "Darkness aiding those who try to tame and destory it," she said. "Fear of the shadow means fear of us who control it. I won't help those who mean me harm, regardless of the circumstances." Then she exploded into multiple shadows, sending the majority to join with her other form near the healer, the rest to hide across the forest with her other pieces.Phillipians 4:13 - I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Rhytha smiled. "I learned how to tap into the gentler nature of fire. Fire is an element of destruction, it is true. But what few people know is that fire also has the ability to purify and cleanse, and to bring renewal and rejuvination. I mean, just think about it. After a fire burns down a forest, do not plants grow there, stronger and healthier than the ones before them? By burning away the old growth, the fire has nurtured the ground, making it more nourishing for the new plants. Fire is just like any other element. It is not dangerous in and of itself. It is the one who wields it that chooses whether it will be destructive or not."Comment

eris, who was quiet thoughtout most of the conversation, noticed something, something that only she could notice. hostile minds three minds, looking for Cynthia she thought. "ill be back" she said, taking off to where the three men were. she didn't hide her presence she just stood in front of them "hi boys" she said with a friendly grin "are you looking for Cynthia"

Cynthia shrugged. "I suppose. Although if darkness has a gentle side, I have never heard or read it. Shadows have always been the very personification of evil." She leaned back against the tree and watched the girl. When she saw Erid leave, she wondered where she was going. One of her shadow fragments went after her, and she was surprised to see the men who had been following her. She mentally bared her teeth at them, but of course, the only one to see would be Eris.
(I'll control one of them, but if no one else wants them, I'll do all of them)
One of the men swore as a girl stepped from the forest, startling him. "Where the blazes did you spring up from, girl? And how the devil do you know we're looking for someone?" He didn't know the girl's name was Cynthia. He just knew what the file told him, and he knew she was a ****ed hard girl to catch.Phillipians 4:13 - I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

"oh me" eris said with a smile "I can read minds, I can also do this" she walked up to one of the soilders and placed her hand on his forehead. he started shaking with fear as his worst memories entered his mind. "what are you doing to him" said the other shoulder. eris turnd her head and smiled "I'm making him relive his worst fears" she moved her hand away and the solider collapsed on the floor, gasping. "now look, this is private land so I would like it if you left. I don't want to hurt anyone"

Damian stepped out of the shade of a tree and stared at the other soldier, catching his eye.
"You want to leave." He said, projecting shadows into his mind.
The man saw something lurking behind the elemental's eyes, the burst out of them, maw open to rip at his throat. He pulled his gun and fired wildly at it, exhausting his magazine on what seemed like air to anyone else watching.
"Go. Get away from her. This is not your problem."
A tendril of shadow snaked from his coat and stabbed into the hand holding the gun, leaving a thin but deep wound and knocking it out of his hand.Comment
